Tariff talks between India and America

The visit of Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal is taking place at a time when India and US President Donald Trump are engaged in conversation with the widespread mutual tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. Trump imposed a wide tariff on India in August last month.

The US first implemented 25 percent tariff on India from 7 August. After this, on August 27, an additional 25 percent tariff was again imposed as a punishment for purchasing Russian oil. With this, the total American tariff on India became 50 percent. Although Washington’s rhetoric was quite strong in August, but in the last few weeks, a big change has been seen in the diplomatic environment.
